A set of C++ source code samples accompanying the opengl-tutorial.org website, teaching OpenGL 3.3+ and modern 3D graphics programming. It covers basics like drawing triangles up to texturing, matrices, models, and more advanced rendering techniques.

Use cases

• learn modern OpenGL from scratch
• understand shaders and GLSL basics
• get example code for rendering 3D models
• learn transformation matrices in 3D graphics
• set up a C++ OpenGL project with CMake
• reference code for textures and VAOs

When to choose

• you are a beginner learning OpenGL 3.3+ with C++
• you want runnable sample code alongside written tutorials
• you need a simple, minimal starting point for graphics programming

When to avoid

• you need a production-ready graphics engine or framework
• you want actively maintained, up-to-date code with support
• you need Vulkan, DirectX, or WebGL tutorials
• you are on a Mac with integrated GPU (site recommends the 2.1 port instead)
